Book description
In his book, Solved: The Riddle of Heart Attacks, Dr. Broda O. Barnes reports on his observations of heart disease and the treatment he followed with his patients for more than 50 years. He also summarizes over 100 years worth of data and research on cardiovascular disease, particularly the effects of cholesterol and genesis of atherosclerosis.
Dr. Barnes’ resounding conclusion is that thyroid deficiency is the cause of most heart attacks and that thyroid hormone therapy is the way to improve the health of these patients, regardless of age or sex.
In study after study, patient after patient, Dr. Barnes reports how atherosclerosis is almost always accompanied by thyroid deficiency, whereas high cholesterol levels—even at an early age—do not necessarily result in heart attack or cardiovascular disease. He claims that thyroid therapy, when given early enough in the course of the disease, will prevent cardiovascular disease and improve quality of life and life expectancy.
